I tried, he does not have a pattern for the sealed eight, if I send him a drawing of the frame he can mold a set to fit. Trying to decide if I want to carve my own or use him.

Good luck, I have one that I am trying to find grips for, none found yet. My father gave it to me, so I will be keeping it, luckily it works. Someone before me polished it to death and "reblued" it, came out purple.

For an interesting wildcat try the 411 Ryan: http://www.411ryan.com/ "Why the 411 Ryan? Probably the best reason to own a rifle chambered for the 411 Ryan is that it can simplify your shooting and hunting life. That might sound like a strange thing to say about a wildcat but it's true. The 411 Ryan is essentially in the same class as the 405 Winchester, 375 H&H and the new 375 Ruger. To have a rifle chambered for one of these cartridges the average guy can expect to shell out anywhere from six to eight hundred dollars. If you already own a rifle that can be converted or if you buy a good used rifle to convert you.ll probably save money with the 411 Ryan. Most people will probably find that their 411 is a little lighter than the 405s or 375s, but still feels like it kicks less. The 411 also avoids some of the problems that people sometimes run into with wildcats. To begin with, the 411 does not require custom dies; standard 405 Winchester dies can be used to reload your cases. To convert a bolt gun with a standard-length action (30-06, 270 Win, 280 Rem) to 411 Ryan, no work has to be done to the magazine or the bolt face. This saves money and ensures that the magazine will hold the same number of rounds it always did." Saving up to build one, already have a CZ-24 donor.

Might be of interest http://www.handloads.com/articles/default.asp?id=22 Article on Windicator imported by EAA and at the end: UPDATE (09/23/2002): Durability After around 2000rds, still running good....BUT.. I found the weakness. The front cylinder catch is engaged via a slot in the ejecter, when the rear engagement 'button' is depressed (while sliding in or pressing the release) it lines up a slot in the ejecter rod with a catch built into the frame. This works fine for .38 and .38+P probably a bit higher. This weekend I fired 12rds of 'American' (I think, made by federal) high velocity 158gr copper jacket flat point. These are pretty stiff, probably right in the end of .357 range..quite a kick. Well, 12rds of that beat up the ejecter rod enough that I couldn't release the cylinder without a bit of a whack. A couple of seconds with a fine diamond file and everything was back to normal. No excessive cylinder 'slop' or anything. But it does mean that this gun is relagated to IDPA use only, handles those loads all day. I think it's time to revise my 'would I buy another one'. At this point, maybe. In light of the power handling (or lack thereof), I have a feeling I'll wear this gun out after 10k rounds.

Lee makes or made dies for the 11 Mauser, brass is avaliable, as are cast bullets, reloading ing info on the net also. Have a Model 71 that was already sporterized, doesn't have the fancy feature of being a repeater, single shot only.
